Psalm 46:10

"Be still and know that I am God."

Joshua 1

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Meditation Where God Talks To You

God Talks to You: Second Edition: God wants to communicate with you. God has been calling you for a long time. You have wanted God to speak to you for a long time. You have wanted to talk to God and get answers back. Here are a few quotes from spiritual leaders who have read the book: Reverend Mark Holland: “After reading Dr. Perkinson's book, I spent several minutes quieting myself, and then I asked God if there was a message for me. “Mark I’ve missed you!” Although there were no words spoken, I felt this message very clearly. I was quite surprised. Daily I was involved with spiritual matters, praying, preaching, and counseling. Nevertheless, I discovered that God was lonely for me.” Reverend Dave Waldowski: “This book and tape do not only “discuss” communication with God, moreover if you follow these simple principles you will “experience” and “hear” God’s voice on a daily basis.”

Peace Will Come CD Sit back and let the words and music sink into your soul. Come back often and play the songs over and over again. You won't be sorry. God will teach you many things you need to know.

A Communication From God: A meditation tape that will give you long communications from God. The tape takes you through two exercises where God speaks to you directly.

God Talks To You

The goal of prayer is communication with God. Meditation and contemplation are states of focused attention. It is no mistake that God chooses to talk to us inside of our own minds. It is the most intimate communication possible.

Ron, how else was I to come to my children? I did not want to put my face in the sky. People would be frightened, and seek me out of fear. I want my children to seek me in the purity of their thoughts. It is a person’s most personal and individual characteristic. I desire the most intimate relationship imaginable. I live inside your mind, inside your body, inside your spirit. I touch you there, where you are you. I know your every thought. I feel your every feeling. I act in every action. It is why I hate sin. I see the pain it causes. I feel the injury my children inflict on themselves. I want all my children to feel joy. It is in freedom that they can love.

Many believers have abandoned meditation out of fear that they will connect with the forces of evil. But as Charles Stanley 1985 states, "This abandonment is at our great peril, because meditation and its scriptural application are of immense value if we are to listen accurately to God" (p. 93). Cho 1984 reports, "The way to hear God's voice is to get still and meditate. If we are too busy to meditate, we are too busy to hear His voice" (p. 129).

The Bible encourages meditation. Scripture uses two different Hebrew words to convey the idea of meditation, and together they are used fifty-eight times in the Bible. There is nothing wrong with meditating. It is a sound practice. There is nothing wrong with listening to God.
Many researchers have found that experiencing something in mental imagery is psychologically and physiologically similar to experiencing that same thing in real life (Klinger, 1980; Kosslyn, 1980; Neisser, 1976; Zenon, 1981). Imagery and sensory perception share much of the same physiological machinery (Shepard, 1978; Finke 1980). In meditation you direct and are in control of your own thinking. This is not God. This is you thinking to yourself, purposefully causing images or thoughts to form in your mind. This is the beginning technique that is encouraged by most Christian mystics, including St. John of the Cross (Kananaugh and Rodriguez 1964). You will reach a point where you turn over your thinking to God. Then God creates the images and words for you. This is communication from God, and it moves you from the state of meditation to the state of contemplation.

St. John of the Cross is known for his deep spiritual experiences with God. He taught beginners to use imagination and fantasy in their quest to communicate with God. Later he taught them to keep an empty mind, opening the total being to God. With the use of meditation, the seeker will draw closer to God. Holy images and words will form (Kavanaugh and Rodriguez 1964).

Contemplation

To try contemplation, sit or lie down in a quiet place, pay attention to your breathing, relax and quieten your mind. Ask God what He has to say to you today. Then open yourself up in every way you know how, every sense, and receive the communication from God. As you through the steps outlined in this book, there comes a point where God will take over your thinking. Human-directed meditation is left behind and God directs the journey. This is contemplation. Don’t be afraid. God will not take you too fast. He will give you just enough spiritual experience to keep you coming back for more. The more you return, the more you learn about yourself and God. God has many things to teach you.
In meditation, you use your imagination to visualize something that will bring you closer to God. You can use something sensory that will focus your attention like music, flowing water, a flower, candle, or sunset.
As you become more proficient at meditation, there will come a point where you let your mind stay blank. Here, if you ask, God will take over your thinking. He will begin to encourage you, support you and educate you. Allow God to bring you along. Don’t be in a hurry. Everyone is different. No two people are the same. We all have a unique spiritual journey.

Take a pad of paper and a pen every morning and ask God what He has to say to you today. Let the writing flow. The words will come, a sentence, a paragraph, a few pages. You will sense when the message is done. Save these messages and go back and read them from time to time. You will see that everything that God says comes true. It might not come true in the way you thought it would, but it comes true.
